NORTH WEST NORTH EAST AND NORTH CENTRAL ZONES
2. In the North West, North East and North Central Zones troops have progressively sustained their efforts to rid the Zones of banditry and other sundry crimes.

SOUTH-SOUTH ZONE
3. The Armed Forces of Nigeria in conjunction with other security agencies operating in the Operation DELTA SAFE area of responsibility carried out comprehensive anti-illegal refinery and anti-oil theft operations in the South-South Zone. The Operations led to the discovery and immobilization of several illegal refineries and forestalling of other activities of economic saboteurs. Notably, on 3 December 2020, some repentant cultists surrendered weapons to troops of 29 Battalion and Nigerian Police at Bodo Community in Gakama Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The suspect has since been handed over to appropriate prosecuting agency for necessary action.

6. The Military High Command encourages the troops and personnel of other security agencies to remain determined and sustain the tempo in all the Joint Operations Areas. The High Command also reassures the general public of its untiring dedication towards securing the country. Members of the general public are enjoined to continue providing timely information on the activities of criminals in their various localities to the military and other security agencies for prompt and effective action.
